Which machine do I need?

Start with the job, not the model number. Each step up the range adds capability, from diagnosing every module on a car to coding, key programming and 24V truck coverage.

24V specialists

Truck & heavy-duty diagnostics

Trucks and fleets need dedicated 24V coverage. Buy a complete kit, or add a truck module to an X431 tablet you already own.

Modules are not standalone

The SmartLink C 2.0 and HD3 add 24V coverage to a compatible X431 tablet. Our SmartLink C 2.0 is the standard version and works with X431 V+, PRO3, PRO3S and PRO5 series tablets. HD3 is the older module and does not work with the X431 PRO5.

Buy with confidence

Why buy from a local LAUNCH specialist?

Software updates follow the sales territory. LAUNCH restricts updates by region, so a unit bought outside its intended territory may never receive them, and loses its value as vehicles change.

Updates are also an ongoing cost. After the free period, renewals run at roughly US$350 a year for 12V car software and US$499 a year for truck and diesel.

SmartLink C 2.0 or HD3? Adding 24V trucks to your LAUNCH X431 tablet

The SmartLink C 2.0 and HD3 add heavy-duty 24V diagnostics to a LAUNCH X431 tablet, but neither works on its own. The SmartLink C 2.0 works with X431 V+, PRO3, PRO3S and PRO5 series tablets. The HD3 is the older module and does not work with the X431 PRO5. Check your tablet before you order.

Software & updates

Grey-import diagnostic scanners: why software updates depend on where you buy

A grey import is genuine equipment sold outside its intended territory. For LAUNCH tools that matters, because software updates are restricted by sales territory: a grey-import unit may never receive updates, so its coverage falls behind as new vehicles arrive. Check the territory before you buy, whoever you buy from.
